  1. A. I would explain how people hear the same story and come to such different conclusions by if someone is dancing with friends and falls down, one girl said she tripped on something and the other girl says that someone pushed her.

  19. Keeping the sociological perspective in mind, how would you explain this entire case to an alien from another planet who had no idea about our customs, traditions, laws and ideological differences? Specifically:

    A. How would you explain how people can hear the same story and come to such different conclusions? People can hear the same story and come to a different conclusion because the country is simply divided. Some people think that it was all one person’s fault or the only one person was in the wrong. Then you have CNN and Fox reporting 2 completely different stories.

    B. Why a person’s skin color, previous experiences or political party would alter a person’s perceptions to the point that their viewpoint becomes reality? Police officers clearly have had a past of targeting black people so obviously their going to say they were right no matter what. On the flip side it’s not like their just killing a bunch of innocent men. Even though they may be committing a crime, some police officers take it way too far.

    C. How would you explain the 1) peaceful demonstration and protests and 2) the unpeaceful demonstrations and protests that occurred in Ferguson after the verdict was announced? The peaceful protest are simply for letting them know that the police officer was in the wrong for shooting him and these injustices need to stop. The unpeaceful protests are probably led by people who were related to Michael Brown and they probably want a little revenge.

  20. 1, Everyone has different experiences with life and see things differently
    2. Because that is how they live
    3. Freely giving your opinion without aggression.

  21. A. Because some people get opinions from their parents and don’t have an open mind to looking at it from a different point of view.
    B. Because racism has definitely played a part in a couple cases in the past and so now people just assume that all the deaths are because of racism.
    C.The peaceful protest is people that just want them to know that they were in the wrong. The unpeaceful protests are the people that want revenge.

  24. A. How would you explain how people can hear the same story and come to such different conclusions? People perceive things differently and there may be several factors such as discrimination, personal beliefs, or even incompetence.

    B. Why a person’s skin color, previous experiences or political party would alter a person’s perceptions to the point that their viewpoint becomes reality? They will carry these moments in every interaction in the future, with the common trauma. In their real life, these actions come into play in small things like job interactions, friendships, or even relationship ideals.

    C. How would you explain the 1) peaceful demonstration and protests and 2) the unpeaceful demonstrations and protests that occurred in Ferguson after the verdict was announced? Peaceful demonstrations involve no violence, while making the mission clear. Unpeaceful protests involve force and violence to be heard, are normally caused because of mission being ignored in status or importance.

  25. 1) they can have different mindsets
    2)because that is how certain people live
    3)freely giving your opinion whiteout aggression

  26. 1. Although people can hear the same story, their morals, ethics, and overall personality determines how thy interpret/perceive it.

  27. 1. everyone has different experiences with life
    2. there have been different cases that where the person was wrongly accused because of the color of their skin

  29. 1. The way I would explain it is everyone sees everyone in a different way then the next person

    2. Different people think about things differently, and see things differently

    3. Protests where people can voice there opinion while still being under control and not being violent, and protests where there is violence, and more crimes happening.

  30. 1 Everyone has different experiences with life and interpret things differetnly
    2. Different people think about things differently, and see things differently
    3. One could protest on what they believe in but not one of violence.
